Spiritual leaders lead people to
heaven. Here in Seven Leaders are
accounts of seven such men, together
with the distinctive features of their
lives—in John Elias, the necessity of
the power of the Holy Spirit; in Andrew
Bonar, the reality of communion with
Christ; in Archie Brown, the
irresistibility of love; in Kenneth
MacRae, the need for faithfulness to
death; in Martyn Lloyd-Jones, theology
and doctrine; in W. J. Grier, passing on
the ‘sacred deposit’; and in John
MacArthur, the governing authority of
the word of God. An Old Testament
miracle once took place at a burial. We
are told that when the deceased was ‘let
down and touched the bones of Elisha, he
revived, and stood up on his feet’ (2
Kings 13:21). Through books, the past
can be touched, and the consequence may
be as much of God as when Martin Luther
handled the old writings of Jan Huss.
Records of faithful servants of Christ
still speak and can bring new life
today.
